€ 165.00

Tosho tsuba are easy recognizable by their minimalistic design, their forged iron and their thin rim. This sakura cherry blossom themed sword guard is no exeption and shows beautiful cloudy patterns in the steel.

It is said that tosho tsuba are not made by tsubashi (tsuba makers), tosogushi (sword fitting makers) or ginkoshi (gold workers / jewelers) but by swords smiths.
